Introduction
Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory cards or built-
in camera memory does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted files can sometimes
be recovered from discarded storage devices using commercially available software, potentially
resulting in the malicious use of personal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is the user’s
responsibility.
Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another person, erase all data
using commercial deletion software, or format the device and then completely refill it with images
containing no private information (for example, images of empty sky). Be sure to also replace any
images selected for the Select an image option in the Welcome screen setting (A73). Care
should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying data storage
devices.

Parts of the devices become hot. Leaving
the devices in direct contact with the skin
for extended periods may result in low-

will be exposed to extremely high
temperatures, such as in an
enclosed automobile or in direct
sunlight
Failure to observe this precaution could
cause damage or fire.
Observe caution when handling
the battery
The battery may leak, overheat or explode if
improperly handled. Observe the following
precautions when handling the battery for
use in this product:
Before replacing the battery, turn the
product off. If you are using the Charging
AC Adapter/AC adapter, be sure it is
unplugged.
Use only a Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
EN-EL19 (included). Charge the battery
by using a camera that supports battery
charging. To perform this operation, use
either Charging AC Adapter EH-70P

charge the battery without using a
camera.
When inserting the battery, do not
attempt to insert it upside down or
backwards.
Do not short or disassemble the battery
or attempt to remove or break the
battery insulation or casing.
Do not expose the battery to flame or to
excessive heat.
Do not immerse in or expose to water.
Put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in
order to insulate it before transporting.
Do not transport or store with metal
objects such as necklaces or hairpins.
The battery is prone to leakage when
fully discharged. To avoid damage to the
product, be sure to remove the battery
when no charge remains.
Discontinue use immediately should you
notice any change in the battery, such as
discoloration or deformation.
If liquid from the damaged battery
comes in contact with clothing or skin,
rinse immediately with plenty of water.

when handling the Charging AC
Adapter
Keep dry. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in fire or electric
shock.
Dust on or near the metal parts of the

Charging AC Adapter during lightning
storms. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in electric shock.
x
Introduction

bend the USB cable, place it under heavy
objects, or expose it to heat or flames.

the wires become exposed, take it to a
Nikon-authorized service representative
for inspection. Failure to observe these
precautions could result in fire or electric
shock.
Do not handle the plug or Charging AC
Adapter with wet hands. Failure to

adapters designed to convert from one
voltage to another or with DC-to-AC
inverters. Failure to observe this
precaution could damage the product or
cause overheating or fire.
Use appropriate cables
When connecting cables to the input and
output jacks, use only the cables provided
or sold by Nikon for the purpose, to
maintain compliance with product
regulations.
Handle moving parts with care
Be careful that your fingers or other objects
are not pinched by the lens cover or other
moving parts.
CD-ROMs
The CD-ROMs included with this device
